The East Village New Deli returns without the deli

After nearly a two-week closure, the East Village New Deli has reopened at 115 Avenue A between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place.

The space has been renovated, and the deli counter is no more. (Counter staff Joe and Munch are now working a few doors to the north at Avenue A Deli and Grill.) 

The focus now is on the usual quick-stop market items like water, soda, beer, snacks, etc.

Management also mentioned that they have three years left on the lease for the storefront.
